Inbounds foul?

[just another ref]

Like most things, this has been discussed here more than once. I see it as a common foul on A1.

10-6-1: A player shall not......push.......an opponent by extending arms.

The fact that the ball is used to do the actual pushing seems insignificant to me.

I'd have to agree that having the ball in her (or his) possession and using it to ward off the defender doesn't negate the common foul found in 10-6-1.
